for this to work, you have to add in your mind as quickly as possible, progressively getting faster as you go along. It is a very simple math test, you will only add by 10s or add 10 each time, lets see how quickly you can add up.
(Scroll with your keyboard as you progress downward)
Take the number 4,000
Now add 10 to that
now add an another 10
add 10 more
plus 10
plus 10
plus 10
plus 10
plus 10
plus 10
Finally 10 more
What do you have?
5,000?
(nope 5,000 doesn't come after 'Forty-Ninety')
In reality it is 4,100. Try it on other people and see what they get, again remember speed is key, and let them know they will be adding by 10's it will mentally prepare them for the 'fall' as well.
